Things to consider.

Airports to take off and land at.

Planes to fly each route.

Places to see.

Google My Maps might be a good way to map it.

You read my mind. See first post. Now we just need a list of places people live. Or close to if you arent happy blurting it on the internet.

R8 did you have to ask to see it, or were you asking for edit permission?

It should be viewable to anyone with the link.

Ballarat's the closest to me, across the road on the old Lancaster training strip is my local dirt-track, would love to see if they added our track in game!

This is close enough to my place and big enough to spot:

Timor Army Barracks, Dundas, NSW

not far from Parramatta.

University student Nathan Wright made an edit to OpenStreetMap data for part of his degree work last year, adding more than two hundred stories to a building that’s actually just two stories. Wright meant to type 2, but instead he typed 212 in the data section for floors. “I think it’s so funny as it was the first time I was using OpenStreetMap,” says Wright in an email to The Verge. “I was using it for a university task and had to add data for class. I didn’t think I would have to see it again.”

Based on Woodsy's Bathurst video, attempting to landing on various race circuits around the world could be a fun challenge. Baku has a nice long runway but Monaco would be tricky :)

This gets you to about 20k from my place

Or you could land at the military base https://goo.gl/maps/suKGSzB9oP6JvYf77

If your feeling extra ARSIE you could come in from the North, land at Edithburgh, then hop to Parafield and finally Adelaide Airport. All 3 airports are in close proximity.
